Bernice Gallego sat down one day this summer, as she does pretty much every day, and began listing items on eBay. She dug into a box and pulled out a baseball card. She stopped for a moment and admired the picture. “Red Stocking B. B. Club of cincinnati,” the card read, under the reddish brown color photo of 10 men with their socks pulled up to their knees.
As a collector and seller, it's her job to spot old items that might have value today.It's what Bernice, 72, and her husband, Al Gallego, 80, have been doing since 1974 at their California antique (古玩) store.
This card, she figured, was worth selling on eBay.She took a picture, wrote a description and put it up for auction (拍卖).She put a $10 price tag on it, deciding against $15 because it would have cost her an extra 20 cents.Later that night she got a few odd inquiries—someone wanting to know whether the card was real, someone wanting her to end the auction and sell him the card immediately.KS5U
The card is actually 139 years old.Sports card collectors call the find "extremely rare" and estimate the card could fetch five, or perhaps, six figures at auction.
Just like that, Bemice is the least likely character ever for a rare-baseball card story."I didn't even know baseball existed that far back," Gallego says, "I don't think that I've ever been to a baseball game." The theory is that the card came out of a storage space they bought a few years back.It is not uncommon in their line of work to buy the entire contents of storage units for around $200.
When she met with card trader Rick Mirigian, she found out what the card was—an 1869 advertisement with a picture of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings.
"When I came to meet her and she took it out of a sandwich bag and she was smoking a cigarette, I almost fainted," Mirigian says."They've uncovered a piece of history that few people will ever be able to imagine.That card is history.It's like unearthing a Mona Lisa or a Picasso."

Al had been working in this factory only eleven months, but he excelled at everything he did. He looked for new tasks-as an opportunity to gain experience. To him, mistakes were not to be denied but considered an opportunity to learn. He was, by far, the most capable man among his workmates, One day, when he was finishing his work of the day, he heard Jack calling him.

“What are you going to do about…?” asked Jack.

“I’ll come off the end rail,” interrupted Al.

“No, I mean about Joe’s promotion?”

“I’m going back to school,” Al said.

“Excuse me!”

“I’m going back to school,” Al repeated.

“You mean you’re quitting!”

Was it that simple? Is this why there was so much misery in men’s lives? “I’m going back to school” was just an excuse, and Al knew it, thought Jack, or Al would not be drunk. It seemed that Al would rather get drunk than fight for his happiness. But why? Jack had no answer.

“Yes, and I’m going back to school. I don’t know what else to do. I can’t believe that this kind of thing can happen. Maybe if I get more education and a better job, it will be different.”

“Do you really believe that?”

“Well, what do you want we to do?” Al was getting angry: “I can’t stay here! I can’t work where the most incapable get the biggest reward! I can’t kill Joe and the boss like…”

Al stopped. They both knew what this meant.

“Like I did?”

Al did not answer.

“Yes, I killed two men with my bare hands; yes, I got punished and lost my job-but I kept my soul!”

Al undertood the hidden statement. Al did not know whether it was his anger, or the beer, or both that made him less cautious in the face. He held his hands firmly. Then be heard Jack: “You’ve got the right idea, Al. You’ve got to fight.”

Al needed to think. Instead of taking the subway, he walked five miles back home. By the time he entered his bedroom, he climbed into bed. Turned off his mind, and fell asleed.

67.Choose from the following a right word to describe Jack.

A.Tough.     B.Incapable. C.Lazy. D.Talkative.

68.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Jack was not happy about Joe’s promotion.

B.Al and jack were workmates.

C.The conversation between Al and Jack happened in their workplace.

D.The conversation between Al and Jack happened during the working hours.

69.What can we infer from the underlined part?

A.Jack thinks Al has lost his soul.

B.Jack used to be a killer.

C.Al would be a killer.

D.Don’t be a killer like Jack.

70.Which of the following is true about Al at the end of the story?

A.Al felt so tired from the long walk home and couldn’t help falling asleep.

B.Al and made up his mind and knew what to do.

C.Al forgot all that had happened.

D.Al was too confused to think further.

“No, on the contrary, I am not ill   50  .”

Dr. Ward looked   51  . “If you don’t feel any pain, that means it’s much more   52   than we expected.” Then he turned to his students, “This is the most difficult kind of patient to deal with because he refuses to   53   that he is ill. __54__ he won’t tell us where it hurts, he will never be well again until we find the hurt out for   55   by doing exploratory surgery (手术探查) .”

     A few years ago, my friend Al won the lottery (彩票), which changed his life. He was not born with
a silver spoon in his mouth.    1  , my friend was always hard up for cash. He did not have much money.

who never paid the money he    4   .He was always very careful with the money he spent. The    5    times
were when he was flat broke and had no money at all.

money     7   . But his combination of numbers was chosen and he    8     the lottery. That is to say, he
won a great deal of    9    .
     Al was so    10   . The first thing he did was to buy a new car. He showed off the one thing that he
normally would not buy. Then he started spending money on   11   things. It was like he had money to 
  12   . He had more money than he needed and it was burning a hole in his pocket so he spent it quickly.
     When we   13   for a meal at a restaurant, Al paid every time. He would always pay bills for others.

     But shortly after that my friend was   15    and out again. He had no money left. He had   16    his
bottom dollar, his very last amount.
     I admit I do feel   17    for my friend. He had enough money to live like a king. Instead, he is   18    to
living on a shoestring - a very low budget. Some might say he is penny   19    and pound foolish. He was
